Elevated Privileges: Accidental download of malware by an insider can grant attackers elevated privileges, allowing them to tamper with critical systems or steal large amounts of data.

Attackers can impersonate managers and colleagues to manipulate insiders into divulging sensitive information or exercising their privileges to the benefit of the external threat.

Financial Losses: Data losses resulting from insider negligence and ambivalence leads to hefty fines, legal repercussions, and the cost of remediation.

Hostile work environments reduce employee engagement and increase disgruntlement, a dangerous recipe for insider risk.

Accidental insiders pose a significant threat that can leave organizations vulnerable to external attacks.
